I find it depressing whenever anyone suggests that RSS is dying, because I honestly think it is one of the greatest inventions in the history of reading. What’s not to love? You get to handpick a series of feeds that will then send you articles to read, and instead of piling up around you, like magazines and newspapers of yore, the articles magically disappear after you read them, replaced by a fresh batch. That’s the concept anyway. The execution of that concept took a while to find its proper form.
This was a great review. I’m going to stick with Reeder.
By the way, RSS isn’t dying, it’s just most people are too stupid to know how to use it. When I explain RSS to people, they get really excited. Then they forget about setting it up because just going to @CNN on Twitter is easier. I love RSS. I could not update this blog for years and the 200+ people who subscribe will know I’m back as soon as I publish something new.
